ALDI has announced the launch of the new premium wine collection under its ‘Specially Selected’ label. Most of the bottles are priced under $10 and pair perfectly with a variety of new Specially Selected cheese found at ALDI for under $5.
The Specially Selected Wine Collection is the culmination of 40+ years of experience ALDI has sourcing wine globally, partnering with more than 150 wineries from around the world, ALDI said. ALDI selected all 10 bottles from longtime partners in distinctive regions, including Côtes de Provence, Uco Valley, and Marlborough, as well as new partners from respected vineyards in Rioja and Barossa Valley.
“Whether it’s the perfect expression of what Napa Valley has to offer or an ancestral vineyard nestled in the south of France, the Specially Selected Wine Collection gives consumers a premium tasting experience without the added costs,” said Director of National Buying, Arlin Zajmi.
“With the holiday season approaching, these wines are the perfect complement to special occasions like Friendsgiving, holiday parties, and birthdays, offering guests a global getaway from the comfort of home.”
In recent years, ALDI said it has seen double-digit growth in wine sales, and the launch of the Specially Selected Wine Collection is meant to meet shoppers’ increasing appetite for premium items.
The new collection joins the existing ALDI award-winning wine assortment of more than 110 items that are on the shelf at any one time. To date, Wine Enthusiast has named seven ALDI wines as Best Buys, with ALDI Peaks and Tides Chardonnay scoring 91 points among reviewers.
The Specially Selected Wine Collection complements the new Specially Selected premium cheeses available at ALDI. An assortment of seven cheeses are available for under $5 and range from a well-balanced, earthy Farmhouse Blue Cheese Wedge to a rich Burrata made from fresh milk to the award-winning delicate flavored Mobay.
